The Anti Valentines Revolution

Not a Fan of Valentines Day, You Are Not Alone

Every year starting the beginning of February the media starts advertising for Valentines Day. However there is a movement that is picking up speed, the anti-Valentines sentiment is becoming more visible and there are good reasons.

Why pick just one day to show your love to your wife, girlfriend or spouse? Shouldn’t you show your love every day? If you don’t get that dozen roses from your husband does that mean he doesn’t love you? The holiday, some say, was created by Hallmark and the flower industry. But I’ll leave that to you to decide.

How to celebrate Anti-Valentines Day

If your single there is nothing more depressing, or maddening, than people coming up to you and asking what you’re doing for Valentines. But I guess it depends on your perspective. If you really want to be in a relationship then going out to eat is a big no no as you will just encounter couples in love making goo goo eyes at each other.

On the other hand if you hate the whole commercialism bit then you will just look at them as suckers.
